    A couple of weeks ago, for the very first time, I divided some dahlia tubers and potted them up. In only a short spar of time I now have 4 shoots which means I have doubled the number of plants we have!!

    Now the questions are: how long before I can move the tubers to their own pots? and how long will it take on average before we get flowers?

    I am ridiculously excited at getting such quick results :)

    This is very exciting. I would also be ecstatic about your new shoots.

    I don't do Dahlias. Although I love, love, love them, I have to dig them up for the Winter here. What's when i kill them. Just have a problem doing that Winter thing.

    Maybe I will try them again just one more time. I really do live them.
